I parked my car on Thursday night and left it sitting in a parking lot.  
As I approached it four hours later, I noticed that both passenger-side
windows were down about three inches.  My first thought was that I forgot
to roll them up, even though I was pretty sure they were down ...

I am a rookie in this sort of thing and was wondering what I need to do
to replace my 2001 9-5 (not Aero)'s Rear rotors and brake pads. I'd
like to replace them myself to get "acquainted" with DIY sort of thing.
I know what parts to get, just not how to install them or nor what

I will be removing the drive shafts of my 9k (1997) to replace the CV
joint boots/gaiters (not split yet).
From memory Castrol MS3 was the best alternative grease for the constant
velocity joint.  Is it the same grease for the inner joint (tripod to

Simple question I guess!  Planning to turn up on Saturday as a day
visitor.  Not really a camping fan, although I did three nights at Le
Mans for the first time this year.
Enjoyed last year, got to meet Paul and Orca, and see loads of really

Can anyone tell me how difficult it is to replace the shift seal?
The part isn't too expensive. Its about $30 or so from the local Saab
dealer. But they want 2 - 2.5 hours  labor which is about $300 in NJ.
I figure if they can do it in less than 2 hours I should be able to do

    I have a saab 1999 93 2.0 injection non turbo, non air

How do I turn off the check engine light? The car won't pass inspection

Hey all,
I have a 1988 saab 9000, manual trans, non turbo. I recently had my
knock sensor replaced, after driving on a bad one for many months (this
was causing my engine to run very badly after around 10 minutes of

I've been reading up lately on the technical aspects of converting gasoline
vehicles (e.g. a Saab c900 turbo) to run on ethanol or ethanol/gasoline blends.
I'd appreciate any input on the ideas, and of course any experience anyone
might have doing such a project.

I'm considering putting a hands-free mobile phone kit into my 1998 Saab
9-3. However despite lots of googling I couldn't find out whether the
output of the car kit gets amplified if the audio system is switched off
at the time of the call.

I've noticed that, after this winter, all the wheel nuts on my Saab
appear rusty. I have no steel rims for winter driving, just the
original Saab alloys for my 9-5 ('04). Do I need to replace these wheel
nuts for fear that they'll damage my alloy wheels, or is the only

Just bought a very low mileage 1995 900 se 2.5 V6 Auto (1st 900 but 5th
Saab) and all seemed fine at 1st. Last week or so came out and battery
was dead although weather in London very hot. Charged battery and
refitted but then noticed a whirring sound even with the ignition off.

I have to replace the front coil springs on my '99 9-3.
I am considering replacing the strut inserts as well, and here's the
question:
Can I pair up Bilstein HD (heavy duty) strut inserts with standard OEM

The motor just went in my 94 SAAB 900. I just got me a 2001 SAAB 9-5
Aero, but it doesn't have a cd changer. Is there any reason the one in
the older 900 wouldn't work? Is it easy to move from it from one car to
the other?
